Squatting might be illegal, but it doesn't stop people moving into empty homes in an attempt to claim them as their own.
And as Flash Shelton, from Nevada, California, came to learn, it can take months or even years to evict non-paying residents from your property as they're covered by squatters' rights.
But when squatters took over his mum's house after she moved out following the death of his father, Flash decided to take matters into his own hands and play them at their own game.
